MANILA, Philippines - A 49-year-old woman was shot dead in Barangay Tugatog, Malabon City Monday night.
Rowena Monasterial, a resident of Concepcion street, was standing along Tumarez street when a man, identified only as “Nono Negro,” approached her with a gun drawn at around 8:30 p.m., city police chief Senior Superintendent Severino Abad Jr. said.
